Tile (10) - 1950-1960

Collection of 10 Dutch ceramic wall tiles in Delftware style – ca. 1950–1980

Varied collection of ten Dutch ceramic wall tiles with scenes in Delftware style. The collection comprises both blue-and-white and polychrome painted tiles with various Dutch tableaux, including historical figures, crafts, landscapes and a floral motif.

Shown are among others a standard-bearer, a musketeer, two windmills, an ice seller with a bakfiets, a basket weaver, a woodcutter, a child flying a kite, a country house and a stylized tulip. The tiles form a decorative and varied collection that is well suited for wall decoration or as a supplement to a tile collection.

Within the lot, one tile appears older in date than the others, which mainly date from the second half of the 20th century.
